" One object out of place caught her eye. The quilt she had painstakingly created from her uncle's drawings lay on the ground beside an old wooden bench. She remembered last seeing it draped across the bench, but she must have jostled it in her haste to search for her uncle. She bent down to pick up the quilt, brushing dirt and stray bits of crumbled maple leaves from the fabric. Her gaze traced the path the triangles made, lingering upon familiar scraps she recognized from sewing her uncle's work shirts and Sunday trousers. Without realizing it, she had made him a memorial quilt."
